Project is Located:

Olean, Cattaraugus County

Project Description:

The Department has received and made a tentative determination to approve an application for the removal of approximately 1,000 cubic yards of petroleum impacted sediments in the Allegheny River south of South 7th Street in the City of Olean. Access to the project site will require the construction of a temporary access road over the Olean Flood Protection Project levee. An application for a Flood Control Land Use Permit has been submitted to the Department and is under review. The sediment will be dredged using an excavator positioned on a temporary causeway constructed with stone placed directly on the bottom of the river. Once dredging is completed, the temporary causeway material will be reused to backfill and restore riverbed elevations and to stabilize the river bank. All dredged materials will be disposed of at a Department approved facility. As a tentative determination, the Department is seeking public comments prior to making a final determination on permit issuance.
